About this role
You'll know where the money is going on our projects at every stage. You'll prepare estimates and bills of quantities, help with tenders, track costs during the build and flag variances early, before they turn into problems. You'll work closely with the design and project teams on projects in both India and the UK.
ABOUT INTERIORS WITH ART
Interiors With Art has been designing and building luxury homes, palaces and hotels for 24 years, for private clients around the world. We've recently opened offices in Delhi and Chennai and set up a joint venture with Sotheby's International Realty India, and the team here is growing quickly. Behind the scenes we're changing how the business runs too. We build a lot of our own technology and we want people who'll help us keep improving how we work.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We like people who question things. If something has always been done one way and you can see a better way, we want to hear about it. It's a fun team to be part of and people work hard. Things move quickly because we're growing and changing at the same time.
We're happy to try new software, and if it makes the work better or quicker, we keep it. There's not much hierarchy and very little corporate process, so ideas get heard whoever they come from. You'll work with the team both in India and abroad.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- At least 3 to 5 years as a QS on construction or fit-out projects, ideally high-end residential, hospitality or luxury commercial.
